Photo Friday

After last weeks first shot at Photo Friday with a gargoyle representing a very lame interpretation of the "Divine" theme I decided to have a go at something more appropriate for this week's "Fire" and so spent an hour with my Canon Ixus, tripod and a box of matches shut in the bathroom in total darkness, the result's here.

I have also got round to posting some more pix, an old fave is the anonymous boy in Xining, China. It was taken years ago with a point and shoot Halina I borrowed off my sister for the trip.

The praying mantis (does anyone remember "Manfred Mantis"?) alighted on our tent whilst we were striking camp on holiday this August, it very kindly stuck around long enough to get a nice macro shot. I'm just glad it didn't find its way into my sleeping bag.
